I don't think it's racist to suggest that the same forces of nature that caused different races to evolve to look different may have also cause races to evolve to think different and thus have different levels of intelegence.

this theory makes alot of sence to me.

my favorite quote

Quote:

argued in favour of genetic screening and engineering on the basis that " stupidity" could one day be cured.

Anti-racism campaigners called for Dr Watson's remarks to be looked at in the context of racial hatred laws. A spokesman for the 1990 Trust, a black human rights group, said: "It is astonishing that a man of such distinction should make comments that seem to perpetuate racism in this way. It amounts to fuelling bigotry and we would like it to be looked at for grounds of legal complaint."

sorry I had to post... "think Different" and Lack of intelegence are worlds apart

I am Glad that I think different then races people.

and also you should look at how we test "intelegence".
its almost like me saying "I will make a game and the rules and then play you, and if you suck at my game I will say that you suck at all sports...and I am awesome at all sports...ok sound far"

o yeah and last year when I was in east africa all of the people I meet were Very smart even by western standers ...its normal for most africas to speak 5 or so languages.

All true.

But if you believe that we evolved from less intelegent creatures (and I realize you may not, but I'm pretty sure this scientist does), and can clearly see that we have not all evolved the same but instead evolved different traits that helped us survive in our native habitats, it seems reasonable to assume that intelegence would evolve differently based on the native habitat.

Rather than screaming racism every time someone suggests that people of different races have different aptitudes and abilities, maybe we'd be better off if we recognized that there are real differences and use those differences for our mutual benifit.

This article makes perfect sense to me. When you think about it, compare it to different breeds of dogs as an easy example. You have certain breeds of dogs that are better for hunting or better for sniffing out drugs or following scents to find someone thats lost. Their genetics make certain traits of their capabilities work better than other breeds, thats just how it is. Each breed has its differences so why would someone think that humans are any different? Dogs adapted differently depending on their environment, and so did humans.
